Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson – Review by Kat Mellon
Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Betrayal of the Gods is the 5th book in the series, and as with all the others, can be completely stand alone. I will be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the first one, but I was hooked literally from the beginning. I finished Eagle of the Empire and immediately dove into the next.. and then the next.. and then the next! They are easy to read, totally captivating and I cannot put them down. The blend of POVs between the past and present is amazing. The historical accuracy that also meets fiction, fantasy and what could have been is such a cool twist and perspective. I love how the past adventures and POV provides their own story in and of itself. Then it meets with the current timeline and you get a completely different story that builds on the past of ancient times.
This book takes us to a timeline of Greek heroes and tragedies, battles in Troy, and famous lost cities. I loved exploring the Mediterranean with Matt and Adam and seeing the past come to life as you get the back and forth POV between both timelines. I cannot wait to see what happens next! Will they find out what happened to their father? Will they truly find Atlantis and if so, what will it be like? WHAT on earth is going to happen with the UN and the museum?! So much going on in a single story! Completely hooked!
